Avenged Sevenfold, who have just finished working on their new album, have put up an MP3 of their new song. The song is entitled "Beast and the Harlot" click here to download the song and also take a look at their cover artwork on their upcoming cd, City of Evil, due on June 6th, on Warner Brothers Records.

i was really amped for this CD to come out, i thought i was going just as good as "waking the fallen" if not better, but the new has me a little weary. it is kind of gay for their standards, but still not bad, but there's no screaming, WHAT THE F*CK IS UP WITH THAT!!!!!????? the rest of the CD better be a hell of a lot better!!!!

the reason he is not screaming is because last year he f***ed up his throat from screaming every single night so they decided to have an album with just singing on it. i love a7x but i cant really say i loved this song. too experimental for me

I LOVED THE WAKING THE FALLING ALBUM THAT WAS PRETTY GOOD.I HAVENT HEARD THEIR NEW SONG BUT ALL OF YOU SAY THAT IT IS NOT GOOD AND NO SCEAMING THAT SUCKS CANT WAIT FOR THIS ALBUM BETTER BE GOOD AND NOT DISSAPOINTED

ok. you all have probably only heard the song on the website with no screaming... but if you have a music downloaded you will see that there are 5 others from what i got... that have screaming. some and some not... but mostly the usual screaming things

It's safe to say without the agression in the vocals this once great band in my eyes has fallen from their once strong and mighty sound to the now justin timbercrap on crack sound.......excuse me while i vomit......Blaarrrrggghhh!!

...my god..this is great...well at least A7X lost moronic people who liked them who didnt know much..oh well. you can all hate the new sound but as you hate them more people start to like them. so who cares..its pretty much a balance. and for those who say this isnt metal..your stupid. Its more of a progressive experimental metal, but it is metal. No screaming woopdee freakin do..all who insult them saying they suck..your nothing but a bunch of freakin con-artists....

Morons every single one of you who even bothered asking, "Wheres the metal?" LOL!!! freakin tards you dont know metal..your just a bunch of stupid a$$ scene kids..don't all of you need to be ordering more cds at interpunk?

the one song without screaming first of all doesn't prove the rumor tht he wrecked his voice...wouldn't their official site mention this problem and change to their fans....not to mention they started to record on like Jan.1 and warped ended at the end of august....3 months...enough time to injure his voice, and record an album right away...unlikley. I think this whole vocal thing is just yet another try to explain a change tht will cause the scene fans tht are fans to just be a part of something they dont truely love to have an excuse not to like the new music. If you knew anything about metal...screaming isn't the only element make the sound metal. All i hav to say is true fans of their music would love their new song and whole cd even if there's a lack of screaming

Yes...Matt did mess up his voice...he told us on the message board like....around September of 2004...that he was slowly starting to mess his voice up...in November his voice finally hit its peak and the blood vessel wrapped around his vocals popped. A show in the UK was cancelled so that he could get surgey done immediiatly. He then started recovering and hired the same vocal teacher Axl Rose had to help him start using more potential to his voice so that he can compensate for not being able to scream. plus the whole band is strung out on the screaming to begin with. they said it was better that they stopped the whole hardcore and screaming stuff because its time for CHANGE...SEE THAT PEOPLE!!! CHANGE!!! NOT THE SAME BORING BULLsh** OVER AND OVER AND OVER!!!! meaning they want to keep some ORIGINALITY!!! STAY ALIVE in the industry.

hey, all those people who said the new sound suck, yeah right, just because there is no screaming doesn't mean it is not metal. If you actually new metal, you would know that metal is about guitar, and the vocal don't always have to be screaming. Take Judas Priest for example, they don't scream but their still metal, same with maiden and the other GREAT metal bands. Sheesh!
